In a comment yesterday J.A. compared LA quartet Princeton to Jens Lekman . As always I think you should listen and judge for yourself, but he's not completely wrong...is he?
Brooklyn-based indie rockers Field Theory are kinda like post-New Wave, indie poppish, College rockers. Through a somewhat nasal vocal delivery, George Lakis wails about socially relevant things and problems with relationships-you know, the usual stuff of indie rock-and talks about getting older. Which is kind of a good way to think of Field Theory-they sound like a group of guys who are too old and experienced to play something frivolous, but not so old that they are ready to stop being rockers.
